SASB: Spatial Activity Summarization using Buffers Atanu Roy & AkashAgrawal
Overview • Motivation • Problem Statement • Computational Challenges • Related Works • Approach • Examples • Conclusion
SASB Motivation • Applications in domains like • Public safety • Disaster relief operations
SASB Problem Statement • Input • A spatial network, • Set of activities & their location in space, • Number of buffers required (k), • A set of buffer (β), • Output • A set of k active buffers, where • Objective • Maximize the number of activities covered in the kbuffers • Constraints • Minimize computation costs
Definitions • Constant Area Buffers • Node buffers • Path buffers
Computational Challenges • SASB is NP-Hard • Proof: • KMR is a special case of SASB • Buffers have width = 0 • KMR is proved to be NP-Complete • SASB is at least NP-Hard
Contributions • Definition SASB problem • NP-Hardness proof • Combination of geometry and network based summarization. • First principle examples
Greedy Approach Choice of k-best buffers • Repeat k times • Choose the buffer with maximum activities • Delete all activities contained in the chosen buffer from all the remaining buffers • Replace the chosen buffer from buffer pool to the result-set
Conclusion • Provides a framework to fuse geometry and network based approaches. • First principle examples indicates it can be comparable with related approaches.
